EBE Chapter 247 Departure
Chapter 247 Departure
Fu Yuehe was "supposedly" seriously injured, so she naturally couldn't show up easily. Although Miss Suying was protected by Xu Feng, she didn't dare to go out casually. If she was not careful, the narrow-minded Fifth Master would secretly send someone to kidnap her and then refuse to admit it. Xu Feng would be helpless without evidence.
So the two girls could only stay in the inner courtyard, and even tried not to go to the outer courtyard. But Xu Feng's two-story house was only about the size of a larger courtyard in the Sikong family's mansion. The two of them stayed in the inner courtyard all day long, like canaries in a cage. After a long time, they naturally felt bored and depressed. No matter how much the two girls had to say, they would always have to finish.
When they were at the Sikong family, they had endless gardens of various scenery to visit. Not only did they meet many acquaintances, but they could also learn some skills from the family's mistress, so they naturally did not feel bored.
After Xu Feng noticed this, he suddenly had an idea. He collected a lot of leaves from certain trees, squeezed out the juice with his spiritual power, and then soaked pieces of white paper in them. Half an hour later, he took out the white paper, and after drying it, the green paper became hard and tough.
After Xu Feng cut the papers neatly, he came to the inner courtyard with red and black paint, and began to number the cards with the two girls and their personal maids.
After spending most of the day making seven or eight decks of cards, Xu Feng began to teach them how to play, from the simplest solitaire to running fast, Landlords, etc. The novel ways of playing surprised them and completely attracted them.
Although this can only solve the problem temporarily, it is enough. According to Sikong Hongyu, he will go with her to obtain the inheritance of Wujiu Taoist in a year at most. Before he leaves, he must find a way to take the two of them out of Chiyun City. Otherwise, after he and Sikong Hongyu leave, the two women will have no one to rely on, and they will be at the mercy of others. Since Xu Feng is in charge, there is no reason to give up halfway.
Even if no one touched them after he left, they had to leave. At least they couldn't stay in his house anymore. After all, he was planning to take this opportunity...
Xu Feng felt a vague sense of uneasiness in his heart, as if something he least wanted to see would happen in the near future. He also tried to grasp the source of this uneasiness, but his efforts were ineffective, so he had to let it go for the time being.
It is not easy for him to escape easily now. Besides, he is indeed somewhat interested in the inheritance of Taoist Wuju. If he can get a small part of it, he should not lack what he needs for his practice in the next ten to twenty years.
After temporarily settling the two girls, Xu Feng began to practice with all his heart. With the sufficient supply of elixirs given by the head of the Sikong family for his last meritorious service, Xu Feng could successfully break through to the fifth level of the human Yuan realm by following the steps.
However, time was short, and he would soon have to assist Sikong Hongyu in obtaining the inheritance of the Unrestrained Taoist. At this time, every bit of strength he could gain was a bit of strength, so he had to be a little radical and eager for success. As for the consequences of the unstable foundation, he could only slowly remedy it later.
Time passed day by day, and eight months later, Sikong Hongyu sent someone to deliver the news that they would set off in three days. Xu Feng immediately ended his closed-door training. Now he is already in the late fourth level of the Human Yuan Realm, only one step away from the fifth level of the Human Yuan Realm. He has already improved his strength in the shortest possible time.
He quietly sent a message to Manager Niu, asking him to follow the plan and disguise the two women and take them out of Chiyun City as quickly as possible after he left, and find a secret place to settle them.
Afterwards, Xu Feng adjusted himself to the best condition, packed up and prepared, said a simple goodbye to the two girls before leaving, and left with firm steps under their worried and concerned gazes.
……
The meeting place was outside Chiyun City. Sikong Hongyu acted alone and quietly. Those men who went out to do things for her did not enter the city at all. They only passed the message to Sikong Hongyu and waited silently outside the city.
In addition to Sikong Hongyu and Xu Feng, there were three others, all of whom were masters of the sixth level of the Human Yuan Realm. The three looked young, one wore a black robe to hide his figure, one wore a Taoist robe, dressed a bit like a fortune teller, with an air of being detached from the world, and the other was thin, with a faint smile on his face all the time.
This is Sikong Hongyu's true confidant! Xu Feng felt a strong fear towards the three people, especially the man in black robe.
"Let's go." Sikong Hongyu ordered. The three of them had already prepared five divine horses. The divine horses had the blood of exotic beasts, and their speed and endurance were amazing. They were the best choice for people in the cultivation family to travel long distances.
The five of them mounted their horses and quickly moved away from the territory of Chiyun City without any extra words.
……
After six days of hard work, they walked through deep mountains and old forests, through thorns all over the ground, and finally arrived at the bottom of a waterfall. The huge roar and the rolling waves made Xu Feng stunned. The other four people ignored Xu Feng's puzzled look and jumped into the water one after another.
They dived deep into the water, swam across an underground river, and finally, they came ashore and arrived at a completely unfamiliar place.
Continuing forward through a forest of apricot blossoms, the group finally arrived at the place where Taoist Wu Ju sat in meditation.
Sikong Hongyu took a few steps forward and cast a spell. Suddenly, a dazzling light lit up in the open space in front of him. The light slowly spun and expanded like a vortex, gradually forming a huge light gate emitting strange energy fluctuations.
Inside the light gate, there was mist and one could vaguely see mysterious shadowy scenes inside, as if it was another unknown world.
"Is this the entrance to the maze set up by Taoist Wuju?" Xu Feng asked.
"No, this is just the entrance to the formation I set up." Sikong Hongyu explained calmly. So that's how it is. Although Sikong Hongyu has obtained the location of the Taoist Wujiu's sitting place, she did not pass the test last time. The maze is closed and it will take at least five years to reopen.
In order to prevent other people from finding this place, a formation was set up to hide it, even though the possibility of this being found is very small.
"Mo Xiao, after we go in, you will be in control of the formation. You must guard the entrance well. Do not allow even an ant in before we come out. Do you understand?" Sikong Hongyu ordered in a stern tone.
"Yes!" The man in black robe bowed slightly and answered respectfully.
When Xu Feng heard this, his heart moved slightly, but there was no change on his face.
After Sikong Hongyu finished his instructions, he took Xu Feng and the other two people into the light gate. The man in black robe stayed where he was, and after the four people disappeared, he controlled the formation to hide the light gate, and he also disappeared without a trace.
……
The place where Taoist Wujiu passed away is located deep in the cave.
The walls of the cave are made of huge stones. The walls are covered with moss and exude a hint of coldness, as if silently warning intruders.
The dark passage was winding, sometimes wide enough to accommodate dozens of people walking side by side, and sometimes narrow enough to accommodate only one person passing sideways. The ground underfoot was uneven, and occasionally loose stones would be stepped on, making a "creaking" sound, which seemed particularly abrupt in this silent passage.
After walking for about half an hour, the four finally arrived at a stone gate.
